Many pros and a few cons but overall it was just to be a relaxing trip before knee replacement
Embarkation
4 out of 5
customs had yearly inspection that caused slight backlog
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Buffet just OK- main dining good but not great. Found the menu a little lacking for my taste but wife loved it as they fixed all dishes for her being gluten intolerant
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
old standards
Entertainment
3 out of 5
shows lacking- There was a group off ballroom dancers onboard(115) and the ship did not adjust. We love to dance but found it difficult. They never had live entertainment in the largest dance floor (Fusion) although did play recorded music occasionally . They had an Irish folk singer who was quite good but played her in the Explorer lounge several times while they played the duo(very good) in the smaller Wheelhouse lounge mwhich allows only 6-8 couples max. Party band was also very good but played very little as most of the deck parties were rained out(should have moved to Club Fusion. Result was little dance availabilty with two very good bands. Poor co-ordination/effort on cruise staff. Will definely check for sundancer group before we book another Princess and choose a different date.
Children's Programs
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
excellant all around
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
somewhat chopped up but not bad. some areas showing its age but still very nice
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
all good but missed the towel foldings each night as there was none
You DO NOT GET OFF in Panama unless you take a 4.5-6.5 tour, ship just sits on lake for several hours and then returns thru the locks(which is interesting)
